Me! Me! I often wish I could go back if for just a few days. I remember when rock and roll started in the 50s -- Ricky Nelson, Fabian, Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Paul Anka, Annette, The Everly Brothers, and oh so many more! I graduated from high school in 1962, and by the end of my second year in college our music was already beginning to change. Remember The Beatles and "I Want To Hold Your Hand?" Bought a copy at the college bookstore. Those were really the good old days, not so hectic.

Those were the days..I graduated in 1970 also. Grew up in the 50's & 60's. Still love the oldies, The Beatles are my favorite. Still have all my old 45's and albums, bubble gum cards, fan club stuff. Good thing my youngest (19) is into all the oldies stuff. He always says he wished he grew up in the 50's and even wants a 59' Caddy. He has all my old records and plays them all the time, also likes even older music. Everything was so much simpler then and innocent.

Well, dear hearts. I was born earlier than most of you. The sixties started a downhill run in morals in my opinion. The drugs came in and went wild, and although there are good things about it, I wouldn't want to go back. I listen to music way before that time and am what you would call an old fuddy-duddy. I try to live in the "now" and pray that we don't all go down the drain in this newer trend we are in now. God bless us all and keep us safe and happy where we are.

Do you remember when you could buy 45's at the grocery store? When my parents went on friday nights, Mom brought home a song by Elvis - "Hound Dog"...my German father said the name was "You're a Hound Dog"...sorry to say my brother and I made fun of him with his thick accent, boy were we BRATS! Also, those who were born after that era definitely have the wrong idea about the 60's. They thought ANYBODY who lived then smoked pot, made free love, drank alcohol and was WILD. HA! I grew up in Springfield Illinois and my curfew was 9:00 pm - does that sound like a wild child to you?
